ANOTHER FUTURE GOP CRIMINAL INDICTMENT-- DENNIS HASTERT, SPEAKER OF THE HOUSE, PAWN OF DELAY, BRIBE-TAKER

The September issue of VANITY FAIR looks into something that has been floating around Washington for a long time: the scandal of American politicians taking bribes from Turkey. If you've never heard of the allegations you probably haven't ever spoken to an Armenian-American. It's pretty well-known, though never proven, that the Turks have been bribing American politicians, of both parties, for years. The VANITY FAIR story, however, puts it in print and puts some meat on the bones AND points the finger directly in the snout of Tom DeLay's puppet-Speaker Illinois Republicrook Congressman Dennis Hastert. The Bush Regime has declared the whole case a "state secret" and is preventing an FBI employee with a lot of the dirt from even discussing it.

The long and short of it is that the Turks have been feeding the porcine Hastert small campaign donations for years. (Donations under $200 don't have to be reported and Hastert, with nearly half a million dollars in small non-itemized checks, has CONSIDERABLY more than almost anyone in the history of the U.S. Congress-- almost 5 times more than the corrupt House Majority Leader, Tom DeLay, usually considered the biggest crook in the Congress.) It has been widely assumed that Hastert was paid off to kill the Congressional Resolution condemning the Armenian Genocide. No one ever knew how much it cost the Turks to buy the Speaker of the House for his help in this matter. According to VANITY FAIR, a senior Turkish diplomat claimed it was "at least $50,000."
